Spangles!

The most striking feature of the great spangled fritillary butterfly is the silvery spots on the ventral surface of the wings. However, they are often hidden from the Sun's light, so you need to find just the right light and angle to show them off.

Indian Pipe

The Indian pipe -- sometimes called corpse plant or ghost plant -- is a flowering plant, but it has no chlorophyll, so it can't use the Sun as a direct fuel source. Instead, it has to "steal" food. it is a parasite, taking food from certain fungi which get their food from tree roots, which carry food from the tree's green leaves, made from sunlight.
